10我们要模成基督的死,就必须背十字架,接受旧人钉十字架的事实,把肉体连肉体的邪情私欲钉十字架,治死身体的行为,否认己,丧失魂,并且经历与基督同死,脱离世上的蒙学。这里有六件消极的事需要对付:旧人、罪的身体、肉体连肉体的邪情私欲、身体的行为、己和魂(天然生命)。……在基督之死的模型里,找不着这六件事的痕迹。事实上,模成基督的死就是对付这六件消极的事。这些事越受对付,我们就越模成基督的死,越模成神长子的形像(真理课程三级卷三,七二页)。
10For us to be conformed to the death of Christ, we need to bear the cross, accept the fact that the old man has been crucified, crucify the flesh with its passions and lusts, put to death the practices of the body, deny the self, lose the soul, and also experience dying with Christ to be freed from the elements of the world. Here are six negative things that must be dealt with: the old man, the body of sin, the flesh with its passions and lusts, the practices of the body, the self, and the soul (the natural life)…In the mold of Christ’s death no trace of these six things can be found. In actuality, to be conformed to Christ’s death is to deal with these six negative things. The more these things are dealt with, the more we are conformed to Christ’s death and the more we are conformed to the image of God’s firstborn Son. (Truth Lessons—Level Three, vol. 3, p. 61)
